4 years ago we put 5 ten+ pounders in my boat that summer ( and a lot of 9’s & under). Then we had 2 slow years in a row.
Last summer we caught tons of 15 to 20” fish, where in years past 25 to 28” was the normal size. Most ten + pounders run 28 to 33”.
Hopefully those smaller fish from last year are up to 25 to 27” this year. It seems to depend on the available forage base. When the Emerald Shiners are abundant, the bait pods are up to 70’ deep !! Everything seems to love the Gobies now.
Lake Powel sounds like a GREAT place to fish. We get Walleyes, Perch, S M Bass, Catfish, Northerns, Lake trout to 40#, Stealhead, and a few Salmon, and Muskies. The Sturgeon get up to 7’, but you have to immediately release them.
